Gorgeous one-of-a-kind jewellery catcher made from hand picked new and antique dishes by Etsy shop Who Made It . This unique handmade shop is run by two lovely sisters, Wendy and Andrea Ho. (image via Seven Eight)

Their mom runs a handmade paper shop (image above taken from her etsy shop). Talk about creativity running in the family!

I simply love the romantic vintage hues of these garlands put together by Pam Garrison. Who would have thought these were made from coffee filters, sewing pattern paper, tissue paper and string! I am so inspired by these to make one and string in some pearls. She also made some gorgeous pom poms (below), also from coffee filters.

Welcome to La Nouvelle Athenes. Who would have guessed this would be a place to have your hair done? Stepping to this stunning hair salon is almost like stepping into someone's home. I love how the unassuming seats are placed to face a massive wall with a small mirror. Only in Paris...

What a lovely typography by Jessica Hische, a designer/illustrator based in Brooklyn who spends her days "drawing type and designing pretty things and her late nights working on everything from editorial illustration to hand-lettering for romance novel covers." Sounds like so much fun! (via ffffound)

I am drawn by the details of this flower shop designed by Athens studio Point Supreme Architects in Patras, Greece. Particularly the ornate iron grill entrance and display tables clad in white tiles which occupy the centre of the shop.

The tables are all different in proportions and sizes to relate to specific kinds and sizes of plants. You can rearrnge the modular tables in various ways to change the layout of the display. A simple and beautiful solution to a limited budget. And I simply love the plans, sections, elevation and even a model they did of this space. Magical!

I love that this shop appears to blur the boundary between what is inside and outside by including details such as a garden chair inside and sound of birds from speakers (nice!). It is like a box containing all that is beautiful about being outside. A part of the façade is also set back to offer a display space outside the shop. (via)
